- I Bought a $300 Outboard Boat Motor on Amazon! Will IT Work?
I got this amazing Outboard Motor on amazon and it definitely looks awesome! I might of found the best motor for throwing on the jon boat, pelican bass raider, and even the kayak. If I do a jon boat restoration this might be the perfect motor for putting around on to test the boat for leaks or how it does for the first time on the water. This could be the best upgrade if your looking for a lightweight outboard on a budget and cheap really speaks to me when it works really good.

I love that thing. If you wanna look at it. Links are in the description.
The links you posted are not for this motor.
Yep, I noticed that on both of his videos, not the motor that he purchased on any of the links
Could you please post the proper link to this motor?
How's it running now?
How's it running now?
I have the 6hp version. I’ve put over 100 hours on it in the past three months. Several pros and cons. Well worth the $600. Pro is starts every time and sips fuel. Con is fuel capacity and the max rpm is around 2500 and with a 1 to 1.5 gear drive it’s not gonna put any boat on plane. Lol I get just under 7mph on a 12’ v-hull with all my gear. And about the same speed with all my gear and 130lbs deer in the boat. I’m gonna get the 12hp 2 stroke soon.
Yeah those 6 Hp have got to be good for what ya need but I could see them not having enough capacity. That boat does good with that motor. That 12 will be fun.
I’m impressed. You really love your gadgets don’t you .? I do to . That is setup that I need …
Ha I sure do Garry. I’m a bit of a tinkerer and really curious so I buy things you wouldn’t think to buy on Amazon ha. Thanks Garry
That's awesome man! Enjoy it with the family.
Bring extra gas and catch some fish. Be safe!
Yes absolutely! I gotta say that thing does not suck the gas down like I thought. Thanks bud
Hi Derrik. It's a Tomking TK144FC. 1500 watts, 53.2 CC, 23 LBS. It's an entirely different company from similar Hangkai. A bunch of shared or standard parts, though. Very high quality castings. I filed and shimmed the flywheel key notch because ignition is way too far advanced. The centrifugal clutch springs are way too strong to troll. I can run above idle on 10 ounces of petrol or blast up to 30. Oil is 20W50 and prop gear oil is 85W140. It's quiet and very dependable. I don't leave gas in the tank. The aluminum propeller takes a hand finish and performs well above factory drag. The aluminum bore will last longer than a 2 cycle with pure oil. There's a 36 CC cousin and similar long shaft models. A plastic bucket boat slows it down a lot, but it's about smiles and fish. Don't get a liquid cooled, and especially avoid the 2 cycle models.
Wow that’s pretty sweet and
A lot of technical knowledge into it. Thanks Willard!
The flywheel comes off with two long 10MM X1.25 bolts. Slip something metal under the flywheel when you do. A tiny file trims the side of the keyway shaft so the flywheel falls behind and the ignition retards toward top dead center. You can check ignition with a timing light. Leave it a few degrees ahead at idle. Watch you don't lose the three cover collars on the splines.
cant wait to see your longer trips now.
Oh yeah longer trips are coming.
Just bought mine. Let's soup them up! I'd love to see some upgrades in a video
Yes Emilio! It’s an awesome engine. It has so much potential.
That's the little engine that could lol I think I can I think I can and it did lol. Sir always appreciate all that you do for us all so we can enjoy your content and videos keep it up. And if you do upgrade it like to see it and know all you do to it. Sir till the next's one GodBless and Tight Lines
Thanks Bj. I definitely plan on doing something to this motor. I’m gonna test it first and see how fast it is to see if it actually helped. Thanks bud
Cant wait to see a fishing trip for crappie with that thing.
Oh yes! I’m gonna have to do that one for aure
I didn't see you put gear oil in the lower case..
Im a jon boat newbie gonna be taking my
14ft jon to the oce flats and fish , is this angood motor for that and not to complicated to use?
Yes absolutely. Most motors are water cooled and this motor is air cooled so you shouldn’t have any issues.
How loud is this and do you have problems with the noise? Was thinking of getting one over electric since batteries are expensive and heavy but not sure if this would be too loud and disturb everyone else on my lake.
I actually was really surprised at just how quiet it is. I love this little motor. It’s very dependable and I got it so I could bring some gas and not worry about batteries and trolling motor myself. I would highly recommend this little motor.
How do you change the oil in it I have one just like it and have lost the owners manual
Usually on any small engine there is a bolt to pull for the drain. I lost mine too could pull the fill and drain it out of that too if you had to.
How are your feelings on this after a year?
Did you mess with timing or muffler?
Thank you
I haven’t messed with anything. It still starts on first pull, sips gas and puts out great horsepower. Clutch is slipping a little when I got it wrapped up in some tough grass. Clutch is $50 on amazon
Do you think it's possible to add a muffler to bring the noise down a bit?
It sounds loud on video but it really isn’t as loud as I thought it was going to be. You would have to make a custom exhaust which can be done. I have a 6.5 mud motor with a go cart exhaust and that thing is super loud compared to that motor.
@@TBassFactory OK, good to know. Now did that mud mud motor got louder after adding the go-kart exhaust? I'm thinking about getting a 7.5 mudskipper as well. Thanks.
You also maintain gear oil in the propeller hub.
Yep your right on that Stanley!
Mine came. Exactly like yours Go Max ind Fort Lauderdale. 750 watts = 2 HP. It's a TK144FC.
Speed test next.. with 1 and 2 people.. good vid
Yes! I am definitely doing that one
@@TBassFactorydid you do it yet?
Hey man I can't find a Hangkai like the one in your video with the kill switch. Any info on that? Never really saw the name or model of the motor in your video.??

That’s exactly what I bought Rick! Just click on the link and should take you to it. I hope that helps bud.
Could you show us if you do any of those upgrades.
I sure will bud!
Nice
Thank ya Harold!
How is it still holding up? Looking to grab one for my 12 foot little V bottom Sea King.
I love that little motor. It’s like having an 80 thrust trolling motor. It’s not that loud and runs great. You can tilt the back end and run it shallow if you have to. I’ve gone upstream in about 10 inches of water with it on the river in descent current. Does good on gas consumption too
@TBassFactory that's AWESOME! Based on that feedback, I'll totally grab one. I just moved right next to the Mississippi here in Illinois. My buddy gave me a sweet little 12 foot seaking v bottom. Been using a 47 trust trolling motor with her for about 2 hours at a time. It's a blast, but would live to have a bit more UMPFFFF when going back up river. I really appreciate ya brother. It's even better now that it's $250!!
@@TBassFactoryDid you have to add any gear oil to the lower end?
How long will this Chinese outboard last? How many years would I get to use it before the leg or engine craps out? The outboard is just a gas driven trolling motor. It looks like no speed, no push if two were in the boat. Yes, the price is right, but will it last?
Almost all small gas engines are made in china anymore so they all about the same. As long as you change out the oil regularly these engines can last a long time.
Does it require a gas/oil mixture?
No it doesn’t just put in gas and make sure the oil in the engine is at the right level.
@@TBassFactory I just ordered mine today for my 10E Pond prowler
How could i register that in texas?
Take the new paperwork down to game and fish office and fill out the forms they give you and pay the registration fees.
Did it push u up the river? Any idea how far 1 tank of gas will get u?
It sure did. I can put the throttle at half and use the tilt in the motor and it will go upstream no problem through the current. So far I’ve done complete one day trips and gone miles on one tank of gas. That motor sips on fuel.
I just got the same motor
Oh yeah Don! I love that motor!
freaking awesome review. I am buying one. You have a affliliate link bro? No reverse ?
No reverse on these. Huangkai is what ya can type in on Amazon and pops right up.
Psst. I removed the flywheel, files the key notch to retard the ignition, and shimmed it retarded. Now it idles much better. They are way too advanced. Oops.
or just get a 3x smoother and quieter 6hp evinrude with 2x the power
Yep you could do that too! This little thing is super quiet, reliable and lightweight. Sips on gas too for less than $300 is hard to beat.
It doesn’t come with prop oil either
Yep that’s crazy but that’s how they get away with shipping em!
I said that because I’m wondering if you put any in there before the first run… i’m also wondering where your wife bought this one I’ve been looking all over your comments. This is the only four stroke 4 hp on the Internet with a Killswitch lanyard that attaches to your hand. All the rest of them are push button and this is the only one that will be legal on the waters, please try to find out where you got this if you can
Why would you not give the brand and model number
It’s in the description of the video
Your a trip
Ha thanks bud!
Where’s the air vent screw
I’m not sure what your asking me. The air idle screw is located on the carburetor. It has a choke lever adjustment that closes the butterfly for more gas on initial startup.
LOWER Unit OIL?
Ha yeah I messed up
None of the link is for that motor. What brand is it?
Huangkai
I have that same motor and it seems extremely loud
I have that 6.5 mud motor and that thing is so loud in comparison. That little motor just putts along and sips on gas and puts out descent power to me. Glad I bought it
Why don't we have modular engine or motor technology yet? That thing looks like it came off a law mower. I should be able to use the same motor in my jigsaw, angle grinder, reciprocating saw, circular saw; or the same engine in a lawnmower, outboard, generator.
Yep if you could build a driveline for a vertical shaft I don’t see why not
@@TBassFactorys far as the lower end, did it come pre filled with gear oil, or did you have to add any? I didn't see that part of the video.
Like you gas can
Ha yeah I made it work. I hate those new style gas cans with safety spout. That is actually a windshield washer jug from Walmart all cleaned out. Lol
Put the cord around your neck LOL
Ha yeah I don’t think that gonna work. Lol
